Jose may come....

I suspect Mourinho wants to go down as one of the greatest managers of all time, and selects his clubs dependent on where success will come relatively easy.

I've no doubt he would like to manage us one day, but until he achieves his primary goal of matching the managerial greats, we won't be in his mind for long.

I'd imagine people hate Shankly too. Doesn't really matter to me. I just want a team that wins. Not even arsed about style of play, we exist to win trophies. Not play pretty football. Newcastle fans say things like that.

People didn't hate Shanks as it happens (he was proof that you can be successful and a strong character without becoming a Ferguson-style bully) but I agree with the overall point. Winning was always a major priority for "the Liverpool way" and still should be.

I wouldn't know in fairness like so point accepted. I just thought the comments like closing the blinds if Everton were playing in his garden, 2 great teams in Liverpool and maybe others I haven't heard or forgot wouldn't endear him to many people.

Mourinho isn't Shankly, obviously, but he does say things to deflect attention from the team at times and is a very confident, outspoken individual.

A lot of people dislike Mourinho if he isn't their manager. I thought maybe the same was the case for Shankly. Massive assumption of course.
 
Most people used to laugh at those Shanklyisms, even bluenoses in my experience, though in their case the laughter might be punctuated by a few choice adjectives. The comments were genuinely funny and the great man said them with a twinkle in his eye. But the game as a whole was gentler then, off the pitch at least (some of the tackles on it would earn a GBH charge now).

Go and support Chelsea then.
 
No he hasn't. He's said winning comes first. Winning playing pretty football is a bonus. And less of the "nutjob". Ta.
 
Oh, censoriousness from a chemically-affected guest turned...whatever. I can't remember any of Shanks' teams playing 'pretty' football, so that's hardly a radical demand.

Which is exactly what he was saying so the go and support Chelsea quip was a bit odd and unnecessary.

Without the apostrophe he becomes a bit sub-continental.

Care to explain? Then again, don't bother Macca. I don'twant to get in your bad books. I'd hate for you to have to go into exile again until I was banned.

Bit rough, Macca.

Can't see anything wrong with what he said.

Unnecessary and unjustified.

You don't have to be a 'sky generation fan' to appreciate substance over style
 
More of this needed?

I'd be happy with Mourinho.

The club needs an injection of charisma and drive (as well as some fucking decent footballers too obv), I think he'll help give us that.

Cant see it happening though, unfortunately.
 
I have fully supported Rafa since he came, and I still do, in that I respect everything he's done. I think his legacy will be the youth that's coming through.

But you know what, I'd love to see a manager who shows joy when we score. A silly thing, I know, but I would.
